    MIDI Software List for Compact Macs?

    I Didn't know there were Yamaha FM synths that had general midi sound sets, none of the ones I own do, dx7, dx9, tx802 fb01. It's definitely a 90s thing though.

    MIDI Software List for Compact Macs?

    In that case you are pretty much on the right track with the Roland sound canvas synths. Basically you want to find something with the general midi logo on it. There are a ton of synthesisers around, but most professional grade ones do not support general midi and thus would not be much use for...

    Guide to replacing EPROMs with EEPROMs

    What about 27c010, 27c020 and 27c040? I never found direct replacements 27c040 EPROM and 39sf040 EEPROM have a slightly different pinout, which will require some bodge wires...

    Is this working with the copy protection used by older opcode and digidesign authorization disks? I already have a greaseweasle, but it can't write 800k Mac disks yet.

    RaSCSI Development Thread

    Wow I'm really impressed by the work you guys have done! I bought a raspberry pi when I first saw rascsi, but It looks like the quick and dirty diy version without bus transcivers has a few problems, so I was planning to make a PCB eventually. I'm really glad I didn't have to though, because...

    Macintosh Classic (XO) Custom Rom Disk?

    i think i have some 27c400 and 27c800 16 bit eproms too (used for amiga kickstart) hopefully the pinout is the same. i've made a few adapter pcbs like that recently as i've been reprogramming the sound Roms on old drum machines, sometimes they have mask roms with non standard pinouts. i made...

    Macintosh Classic (XO) Custom Rom Disk?

    i haven't had the chance to open it up again, and i found a rom image online, it's 512k, so thats going to fit into a 27c040. the socket actually has extra unused pins for a bigger chip. according to Designing Cards and Drivers for the Macintosh Family 3rd Edition 1992.pdf the classic has a...

    Macintosh Classic (XO) Custom Rom Disk?

    The XO classic has it's rom on a 32 pin Dip mask rom, which looks at first glance to be compatible with a 27c020 eprom i suppose my first step should be to dump the rom, copy it to a compatible eprom and see if it works.

    Macintosh Classic (XO) Custom Rom Disk?
